The deep linked things are just links that go further into the site and are not on the main opening page of the site. You have to click on the links to go see them on another site. They don't show up here. The direct linked image shows up here because I'm direct linking the image from Photobucket.

Oh, I'm well aware of their differences, and that's why when comparing them, I used the word "similar". They are similar in that the person hot-linking is still bone-jacking the original site's bandwidth.
